Summary: An amazing Book on Woman in Hinduism!
Review: This book is amazing! I read it for an anthro class and was profoundly moved by what I read. Westerns always think of woman in other cultures and religions to be degraded and un-impowered, but this book shows that our ideas are not the truth. Each woman is portrayed in a truthful and empowering light. I highly recommmend this book to anyone who wants to see Hindu Woman from a different perspective.
